China will shift chemical plant after protests

reuters.com [2008-3-27]

China plans to shift a proposed chemical plant to another part of the eastern province of Fujian following mass demonstrations, officials said on Friday, defending the project against a new wave of protests.

"The city government has decided that this good project can be constructed in a more suitable part of Fujian province, a place with more space," Liu Cigui, the mayor of Xiamen, told reporters on the sidelines of China's annual parliament session.

The project is most likely to move to the Gulei peninsula, in the far south of the province, but last week residents there gave notice they also did not want a chemical factory in their backyard.
